I told myself that I won't complain with the aches and pains that go along with the third trimester, so this post is purely for documentation. I was almost convinced that I was blessed with a painless pregnancy...
A couple of nights ago I did something to my Achilles tendon. It was so painful to put pressure on it so, I ran myself a warm bath and massaged it which seemed to take away some of the sharp pain but there was still an achy sore feeling to it so I took a Tylenol. That night was the first night that the Snoogle didn't help me :( My hips were so sore and every time I tried to switch sides they made me moan with pain... very uncomfy.
Tonight was the first time I've had a leg cramp this pregnancy, I can't believe I forgot how painful these things are!!! I must have pointed my toes while trying to roll onto my other side and it felt like someone just punched me in the calf. Poor Colin was woken suddenly by my "ouch"es and squirms. My calf was ROCK HARD! I tried to sit up to massage it but of course, I was like a fish out of water... what pregnant woman with this big of a belly can sit-up by herself?! Thankfully Colin gave me his hand and I was able to sit up and rub my knuckles over the calf muscle. Now it feels like a bruised muscle... awesome.
I guess these are all good signs - I'm that much closer to meeting this little girl!
